Patient Stories

Melissa Geiser

Melissa has suffered from migraines since she was a teenager. So when she went for an MRI, the last thing she expected to hear was that she had an inoperable brain tumor. Not content with that diagnosis, she reached out to Barrow and Dr. Nader Sanai. Dr. Sanai was able to remove her entire tumor and help her return to a normal life.

Jennifer Story

Jennifer has experienced debilitating migraines since she was a child. Last year, they became so bad, they sent her to the ER. Thankfully, a family friend recommended Barrow. At their first meeting, Dr. Kerry Knievel told Jennifer she wouldn’t let her leave in pain. And she didn’t. For the first time in nearly four decades, Jennifer is migraine-free and able to fully live her life.

Jay Layman

At just 51 years old, Jay was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. While his disease is not yet curable, his early diagnosis and the quality of care he receives at Barrow have given him the gift of time – more time to spend with family, more time to plan for the future, more time to relish every moment. Jay has also become an advocate for Barrow and the research into disorders like his.

Heather Knies

When she was in her early 20s, Heather was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and told she only had a few months to live. That was over 10 years ago. Thanks to the doctors and nurses at Barrow Neurological Institute, Heather is living the life she always dreamed of. She's happy and healthy with a loving husband and a beautiful little girl.

Doug Clough

Doug was diagnosed with ALS in 2014. While there is currently no cure, he's participating in clinical
trials through Barrow Neurological Institute that, along with world-class patient care, are helping
improve Doug's quality of life, allowing him to spend more time doing the things he loves with
the people he loves.

Richard Paulson

After suffering a heart attack, Richard was concerned about undergoing major surgery for his back problems. He consulted with surgeons across the region to find a minimally invasive treatment before going to Barrow. Using a revolutionary new surgical robot pioneered at Barrow, doctors performed his spinal fusion with minimal tissue damage, greatly speeding his recovery time.

Vanessa Garza McAllister

While undergoing an MRI, doctors in Boston discovered an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in Vanessa’s brain. Because of the difficulty of operating on AVMs, they advised her to live with the risk of it rupturing. So Vanessa reached out to the leading experts at Barrow. They successfully removed the AVM, saving her life and reuniting her with her family.

Alexa Caiazzo

At 16, Alexa began experiencing extremely bad headaches and pain in her legs. The pain was so bad that she couldn’t read or write and was sleeping between 15 and 20 hours a day. The neurologists at Barrow quickly realized that Alexa was suffering from a series of concussions she had sustained while cheerleading and helped her get back on her feet.

Brian McDonald

Shortly after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Brian got a new job – re-designing
the very place he was being treated, the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. Inspired by the care
he's received there, Brian volunteers as a peer advocate in research and acts as a resource for
others recently diagnosed with Parkinson's.

Heather Gordon

Heather developed a rare tumor on her spine that was growing rapidly. If it continued to grow, it would eventually crush her spinal cord and paralyze her. Because of the size of the tumor, removing it was tricky. So her doctor referred her to Barrow. Her neurosurgeon there was able to remove the tumor without complications and she’s looking forward to rejoining the track team next year.

Alejandra Borunda

At just 29, Alejandra was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A complete shock. She had seen a family
member's experience with the disease, but wanted to understand more. In her research, she found
Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and became actively involved. Through Barrow, Alejandra has built
a second family and a support system to help her manage her symptoms.

Amanda Ippel

Amanda's life changed in an instant one evening in May 2012, when a crushing pain rocked the right
hemisphere of her brain. Thirteen weeks pregnant with her fifth child, Amanda had suffered a
middle cerebral artery infarction. Now her baby is healthy and safe, and her hard work at Barrow's
Center for Transitional NeuroRehabilitation is paying off.

FAQ

The Barrow Health & Wealth Raffle benefiting Barrow Neurological Institute is an opportunity for the public to help raise revenue by purchasing tickets that could win a prize. Net proceeds from the Raffle go toward patient care, medical education and/or research — in keeping with Arizona legislation authorizing such a raffle.

You may have heard the Barrow Health & Wealth Raffle called “Arizona’s Original Raffle.” That’s because this fundraising concept began in Arizona in 2003, and it’s now the oldest fundraiser of its kind in the United States. The Barrow Health & Wealth Raffle is proud of this fact — and even prouder of the amazing things happening every day at Barrow Neurological Institute as a result of the dollars generated by this project. The Barrow Health & Wealth Raffle is not philanthropy in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses an entertainment and prize format to attract dollars in support of Barrow Neurological Institute.

Three Early Draws will be held. Early Draw No. 1 will be held Tuesday, October 9, 2018, for which entries will be accepted until midnight Friday, October 5, 2018.

If the seventh calendar day falls on a weekend or legal federal or state holiday, the draw will be held on the next business day.

Requests for ticket cancellations must be made by noon of the day before each draw for which the entry is eligible. All entries are nonrefundable after the applicable noon deadline or once an entry has been included in any draw. In the Raffle, there is no possibility of a tie. All draws will be under the supervision of the Administrator. All time references to noon and midnight are Mountain Standard Time. Entry purchasers may win more than one prize. After each draw, the winner’s ticket number(s) will remain eligible for all subsequent draws. The draw for which an entry is eligible is determined by the entry deadline, and the entry remains eligible for that draw and all subsequent prize draws.

Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time prizes are claimed will be followed. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.
